Finally! This is how you do it. This time the President didn’t trade off the vulnerable to “get a deal done.” Texas will lose federal funds, but people will know who to blame. As the Republicans say, you can’t reason with terrorists. So when they themselves assault women, or the poor, or immigrants, the President needs to stand firm like this every time. And the women of Texas need to turn out in mass to get rid of these hillbillies in the Texas legislature once and for all. No one should be allowed to even enter the capital who has 
not learned this lesson, “Don’t mess with Texas women.”
wow…it is becoming so clear that dimishing women’s rights is part of a long time strategy in the conservative and republican plan. this is not an over night strategy this is a very well planned map to making women less in our society.
